You can also spring for the SNZH57 if you'd like a touch of gold. In base form, it's absolutely stunning in sunlight (although my photography skills can't match up).

Watches that look like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that won't cost an arm and a

The Helson Skindiver is a homage to the Blancpain FFF. Check out their website. They offer it in several dial styles one of which is pretty close to what you want.

How about this Skywatch? Closest thing to fifty fathoms I have found.

Shame they don't do Automatic....

Here's my take: A cheap Seiko with a Yobokies FFF dial on a distressed leather NATO band.

Hi, I'm very curious if you actually pulled it off.

I'm also considering buying the same 'starter' mod kit and was wondering if you could give feedback on the quality.

Also curious as to how the watch looks like now. Thanks!

Yep, I pulled it off. Overall, I'm pleased w/ the tool kit, too. The loupe is a little craptastic, but other than that everything has been fine. Though it lives on a Brady Sailcloth strap, now, here's the FFF.

I had the sane urge and went with Helson. They do make a date version as well

Here is mine from Davidsen. It was $250 with asian 2824 movement and no strap . I ordered a Brady Sailcloth strap at the same time as the watch.
